’)Citizens United, along with a bunch of other far right websites are trying to skew the results of Discovery’s “Greatest American” program by voting for Reagan. Please go there and vote for anyone but Reagan (my choice is Martin Luther King, but I feel the others are similarly worthy).
Ronald Reagan is not The Greatest American or else its time to pack up and go home.
Oliver, it’s TeeVee. Cable TeeVee.
Try not to worry about the little stuff, OK?
The whole show is effed up anyways as it is self-evident that no one person is a great American.
We, the people, and those that came before us, and those that will follow us, are what make America great.
Jeebo-Kriminey, I just had a wave of optimism. What the hell was that?!
Its gamed for the Freep vote.
How could anyone set this up with a number of choices to massively split the vote of reasonable & sincere people and only one choice for the conservative Freeper wingnut crowd.
If they wanted a more representative result, Discovery would hold a runoff for the top two vote getters.
Brandon,
Do you spend your entire day being an idiot?
Don’t you realize that Ronald Reagan single handedly won the cold war?
Forget about the millions of soldiers that stood between the Soviet Union and western Europe; forget about all the people working in the defense industry; forget the cuban missile crisis; forget the West Berlin airlift. It was all due to Reagan and his useless Star Wars program (the Soviet scientist were too stupid to realize Star Wars was bullshit, I guess). He really scared the hell out of them when he said “…tear down this wall.”
The right doesn’t mind smearing all the people involved in winning the cold war as long as they can lionize a Republican President. That’s more important.
Oliver,
Do you spend your entire day just hating Republicans?
Macswain, why is Brandon an idiot?
I cannot, for the life of me, imagine how Reagan made it inside the top five and so did Martin Luther King, Jr., if the fix was in.
More likely, it was Reagan’s relatively recent death that made a big difference.
Bush coming in at #6 was a nice surprise, but considering Elvis Presley and Oprah Winfrey made the top 100, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.
Calling Brandon an idiot is somewhat Durbinwsque.
So is Oliverwillis.com part of a coalition of far-left websites trying to skew the results of the poll?
Your party, right or wrong!
Macswain: What in the world are you talking about?
You can call me an idiot, like Brandon, if you want, but before you do, please explain what in the world you are talking about.
I meant Batshit Crazy Don King.
Its so hard to choose. My top five greatest americans …. Joe McCarthy (sp?), J edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, GWBjr, Ollie North, Tom Delay, and Hank Kissinger, Richard Nixon, Ted Bundy and Don King.

They hate me. I hate them back. What’s the problem?
By the way, I see where Citizens United wants people to vote for Reagan, but who are “the bunch of other right wing sites”?
Speaking of home, Oliver, isn’t America your home?
Don’t flatter yourself, Mucker… They’ve never even heard of you…
And, thanks for reminding me to vote for Reagan… I wasn’t even interested!
Heh
Um… it’s a web poll. Who cares?
Apparently, Oliver…
